Came from radio, it was late Left the car, went straight to my gate Head straight Didn't even look left Got my key out, started hearing footsteps Right over my shoulder Had to act fast, I can hear them getting closer Tryna' keep calm and put my key into the door Thinking to myself if I don't make it then it's over I don't know how I managed it Ran into my mum's room panicking Mum shouting at me "Karl what's happening? " Carl shouting at me "Karl what's happening? " How the hell did I get in this? Tryna' hold the door but it's coming off the hinges Somebody wake me from this dream now Then I hear a gunshot and my mum scream out Somebody come and save the day Somebody take this pain away How can I ask God for help now, when I ain't even prayed today? Is this how my life ends? (Nowhere to run, no place to hide in) Carl ran out of the room tryna' fight them Two more gun shots, everything's silent Mum ran downstairs, she's crying And I can't move a muscle but I'm trying Praying for an ambulance but I can't hear a siren She said he's shot I hope she's lying I hear her shouting out for help, I think he's dying I'm thinking why him? Was it wrong place, wrong timing? I see him at the bottom of the stairs Mum shaking while the neighbours tryna' save him, heart racing, wishing I could disappear And it shoulda been me but it's him lying there And I know it isn't fair I phone Skanks, phone Shook, my whole body's in shock, I couldn't even shed a tear Trapped in this nightmare, how did I get here?
This is my story All the pain, all the things, falling on me All the blood, sweat and tears but don't worry Flashing lights, seen my life flash before me This is my story This is my story
Woke up to a ping on my blackberry It was a message from Kone saying "somebody tried to kill me and got my family" I rubbed my eyes, is this a dream or reality? Kone said "Krept who the fuck was this mad at me? " God, how we gon' solve this catastrophe? Then God gave us 'Otis' it was a blessing from him Cos it stopped us from going getting reckless on him Thinking to quit music Thinking to go and do something stupid Then things fell in place and started improving That's why I say the music chose us, we didn't choose it Bearing in mind Kone started from scratch Feds took his house, money, clothes, he never had jack Then I got a call from Vash He told us the plan so we got up in the lab Then things started to pick up even more Skepta hollered at me, said that we should come on tour Skepta don't even realise what he did for us Well if you're listening, thank you for help fixing us From the tour, all these shows start coming in Back on our feet now the money started flooding in Invested in clothes and money started doubling Now so much for struggling Watching Kones getting back up on his feet Thinking "how's he coping", I couldn't if it was me Now Play Dirty's on the up fucking up the streets Everyday a new city that we reach But even though we turned around a mess I'm sitting in my yard thinking that I could be next Thinking "did I give anyone his address? " That shit that happened to Kone still playing in my head Thinking 'bout he day it happened, when I saw his mum And she told me "please look after my son" Not a single tear on her face showing Even though I know her heart's broken Staying strong even though we're stressing Cos she lost her husband and that being the second That's why the music is a must to us Kone he's going to make it up to her
